females and claws

[Tarathiel]

whats with the extra hits the females get with claws. does it give them any advantage or do the males get something to compensate for it?

[Tarathiel]

only for claws?

[VelosofLight]

Are you sure they do? I hadn't noticed.

[AlphaMinotaux]

females get extra target with claw? meaning they hit 2 instead of 1?

[Tarathiel]

^that buff would be too good im sure they get and extra hit or 2

[Jozon]

that's not right, I demand confirmation, and someone stop AlphaMinotaux before he hit's 666 post count, he'll destroy us all!

[Reeses]

Um... what? Ok im a beast female with twin claws... I dont know if your talking about single handed or double so ill just pretend you said twin.

Normal attack goes: 1-2-3 = 6 hits.
PA 1 Combo= Hits two targets twice
PA 2nd Combo= Hits two targets twice.

Thats all i know so far, my PA is only lvl 12... Hope this helps!

[Parn]

For males, the normal attack is 1-1-3 for 5 hits. That's pretty much the difference, heh.

[VelosofLight]

Wow. So there really is a difference? So much for the maleocentric maleocracy. Heh.

I guess SEGA just has a thing for girls with claws and wanted to draw it out as long as possible?

[Jozon]

so basically there's no point for males to use claws if the females can do an additional hit? that's kinda stupid

[DarkSeph]

Wastn't it that way in PSO as well? Anyone remember?

Just think of it as compensation for a lower ATP.

Wait, Newman females can't use claws? You could have told me. :(

[Ronzeru]

Umm.... One name to explain why it's prolly favored for them.

End of explination. You don't need any further really. Look her up in Phantasy Star fandom.

I think she's pretty cute. Claws PLUS Newman Female!

Hasn't Sonic Team already favored female characters, all throughout PSO, already?

And yes, the combo looks very similar for Twin Claws, however, for males, it hits for 1-1-3; for females, it's 1-2-3.

[KiteWolfwood]

Oh really. That is pretty awesome. I was hating claws when I tried them with Ethan just because how bad the normal combo was. Going to have to try them out with my Extra mode character now. To bad the first PA still sucks.

I had no idea that females get an extra attack... more incentive for me to play with claws for fun.

[Vorpal]

Do they get more hits for the single claw? I don't care about the twin claws, they're gimped IMO.

Rika... i got a newman female wartecher lvl 53... soon she will use claw... and be exactly like rika http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[UltimateCarl]

The extra hit compensates for ATP?

...Well then what about the bonus to DFP, MST, TP, EVD, and END females get, too?

Yeah, SEGA loves chicks.

No; Twin Claws, specifically, get the extra hit as female characters.

Single Claw is practically the same, for both of them: three hits total, per combo.

I like Single Claw a lot better, as well. The current PA for Twin Claws online, is the same as the store-bought one offline... And it's absolutely horrible, offline. Might be a bit better online, but I haven't tried it yet, and I probably won't.

[Alisha]

its also worth mentioning that the first hit of the female dual claw combo for females is noticably faster than males first hit. if you look at just about all combos where the female combo is different in my opinion the female version is always better ESPECIALLY for swords. males have a huge recoil on the last hit(its worse than pso imo) females have almost no recoil.

Yeah, except HUnewearls are useless in this game beyond anything other than visual appearance. Oh well, fleshy clothing styles suck anyway.
